System to be build needs help!

[rapolitas]

This will be more or less my gaming rig in a month or two:

CPU: Intel Core i5 760

Motherboard: ASUS P7P55-M

GPU: ATI Radeon HD 5770 1024MB

RAM: 8GB Corsair XMS3 DDR3-1600 CL9

HDD: 1TB Samsung Spinpoint F3 32MB Cache, SATA2

Power supply: 550W LC-Power LC6550 V2.2

The box/Chassis: Xigmatek Asgard

No extra fans

Os: Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit.




You guys have any suggestions? Maybe dropping to 4 gb of ram and getting a better chassis/box? Is more power necessary? And I can only choose between 4gb or 8 gb of ram because the site im ordering from has only that option. And im looking to be below 800 euros. This configuration now is 797 euros ;D

I would drop to 4 gb of RAM, put that money instead into the best video card you can afford....GTX570 if possible.......

Also I would actually drop the Intel i5 760,... The newer i5 CPUs have replaced it in the same price range and you get mobos for that in the same price range as the LGA 1156 boards, so check out those,...
And if it is going to be a gaming PC mainly, then get an AMD Phenom and with the money saved, get a more powerful GPU and a better know PSU with good quality,...

So should I wait for the Bulldozer? Isnt the price going to be quite high? I'm looking for a price similar to the i5 760 and the phenom one I have listed above. I would like the processors to be similar price but better performance. Is that going to be possible when the Bulldozer comes out?

^ The Intel's new SandyBridge CPUs are out, and are priced similar to the i5 760s,...
